This lets us remove this fairly ugly user interface widget, which was
inconsistent with the rest of the settings UI.
The implementation is approximately the same as before I just migrated
"Add new custom profile field" form into a modal, status update
notifications about these forms will be displayed inside their modal,
and made some little design changes as discussed on CZO.
Fixes part of: #21634
Previously, the value for an option of the select type custom
profile field was set as "order - 1". This commit changes it
to remain same even when we reorder the options or delete an
option. When we add a new option, its value is set as 1 more
than largest value already used.
This helps is eliminating various bugs in this subsystem, where
user's choice is changed unexpectedly when reordering or deleting
options.
